1Please note that this isn't a case of account removal; in which case a "user was removed" notice would've been displayed. Still, I would be happy if we not restrict the discussion to this particular situation.– M.A.R.Commented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:45

I think there is already a script that handles such things but the threshold is more than 4 for sure. The actual count is not revealed for obvious reasons but I would assume it to be definitely higher than 5.– HarryCommented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:50

@Harry I remember having 4 serial upvotes reversed, than why the threshold for other similar things should be higher than 4?– nicaelCommented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:51

6@Harry There is a script that handles the most cases of serial "upvoting"; I haven't heard anything about "un-upvoting".– M.A.R.Commented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:51

@Nica I noticed them today since I'm old and late.– M.A.R.Commented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:51

But the screenshot is outdated too, were you preparing this question for a week? :D– nicaelCommented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:52

@nicael: I once had something similar (serial upvoting of my answers), it was not reversed even at 5 and when I flagged it for attention, I remember being informed (not sure if by mods/users) that 5 doesn't trigger the script into action. Maybe its changed with time if yours was a recent case. Or maybe its a combo of time + no. of votes. So, something like 4 in 4 minutes triggers the script and not 5 in 10. Not sure.– HarryCommented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:54

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. Valid point, I am kind of assuming all avenues to be covered when it comes serial voting actions. But your question is very valid because it will atleast get an official response if not a correction.– HarryCommented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:55

@Harry Mine has happened almost a year ago, Feb 28 '15.– nicaelCommented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:57

1@nicael: Mine was in '14 :)– HarryCommented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:57

1And also it possibly depends on how "serially enough" you're upvoted.– nicaelCommented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:58

Wonder - suppose that user A uses account B to serial-upvote himself. When the voting is reversed, what is displayed on B account? There is a specific message or just a sequence of un-upvotes? you may be seeing that.– SPArcheon - on strikeCommented Jan 10, 2016 at 13:32

3@SPA if the sock is removed, it's "user was removed"; if only the votes are invalidated, we see a "serial voting reversed".– M.A.R.Commented Jan 10, 2016 at 13:36

2What I want to know is how the user got around vote locking.. Did they edit all the posts they wanted to unupvote? That makes this even more interesting..– ɥʇǝSCommented Jan 10, 2016 at 23:59

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
